I ran a test on Crucial regarding my MOBO and this is what it shows :

Memory Type: DDR3 PC3-12800, DDR3 PC3-10600, DDR3 PC3-14900, DDR3 (non-ECC)
Maximum Memory: 32GB
Currently Installed Memory: 4GB
Total Memory Slots: 4
Available Memory Slots: 3

My question: Is a ddr3 1600mhz ram compatible with my MOBO?

Also, what is the difference between this two : Gskill RipjawsX 8GB Dual 1600 CL and a Gskill RipjawsX 8GB Single 1600 CL10? does the former add up to 16gb or just two 4gb for two slots instead of a single 8gb?

DRAM itself runs as a 64bit device, when installed and set up in dual channel it (both or 4 sticks in dual) will operate as a 128bit device, contrary to what you will hear from many it doesn't double the speed, you'll normally see up to a 10 maybe 15% increase in performance (with Intel anyway), AMD has weaker MCs (memory controllers), so the increase will normally be less

So a Gskill RipjawsX 8GB Dual 1600 CL9 model number : [RipjawsX] F3-12800CL9Q-8GBXL would be my best bet?
